3.0

I had high hopes for this book, but right away I knew it would not be a 5 star read. And that's okay. I was intrigued enough by the premise to keep reading. It was interesting, but that is about where it stopped. It only ever got interesting. Never mind-blowing or even intriguing.

There was a lot of repetition. It often felt like the author just didn't know what to write to flesh out the story. I kept waiting for twists and turns that I would have included in the story, but they never came. Basically I am saying that I maybe could of helped with brainstorming this plot. I'm not saying I could do it better, but I just saw this taking a more sinister path.
